About Cobi Sharpe
After Cobi and her partner moved to the Yukon in 2012, she knew she needed a camera to capture the magnificence of the north. She started with a Nikon D3100 and a kit lens, and spent most of her time photographing the Canadian landscape, bison, caribou and other wildlife that she could see from living along the Alaska Highway.
When she moved back to Ontario, she signed up for a 6-week photography workshop, was hired as a wedding photographer assistant, and eventually took a 2-year photography diploma program at Georgian College when she moved to Muskoka in 2016.
Whether it’s hiking or camping adventures, she loves the smell of campfire in her hair, is a mother of two, a runner and advocate for body liberation and diversity (every body outdoors).
